The Packers aren’t the first team to rely on a dink and dunk offense, but they have taken it to an extreme. The team’s top three receivers – Randall Cobb, Richard Rodgers and Davante Adams – are averaging less than 10 yards per catch this season. The trio has caught 163 passes for 1,613 yards

When’s the last time fans of a 7-4 team felt so good about beating a 4-7 team by four points? When that 7-4 team was coming off a miserable six weeks and trailed 20-0 in the third quarter. In one of the most improbable endings in franchise history, Green Bay beat Detroit 27-23 on a walk-off Hail Mary pass

While I didn’t expect the tight end position to be a strength this season, I never expected it to be quite the weakness it’s become. Richard Rodgers hasn’t made the expected jump from year one to year two. In fact, he might actually be regressing. The former Cal star played his worst game against Denver on

At this time four years ago, Aaron Rodgers was throwing to Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Donald Driver, Randall Cobb, James Jones and Jermichael Finley. My how things have changed.

Despite extending plays with his feet all game, Aaron Rodgers struggled to find open targets against a mediocre 49ers secondary. I wanted to wait until I watched the All-22 before assigning blame, but my hunch was that the receivers weren’t creating separation. Well, the coaches’ tape proved that hunch accurate. For much of the game, Randall

After “studying the tape” (that sounds a heck of a lot better than “turning on the computer”), here are 10 additional thoughts from yesterday’s game against the Seahawks: 1) Due to his lack of speed and quickness, Richard Rodgers will never be an elite player. That said, the second-year tight end proved Sunday night just

The beauty of making bold predictions is that very few people remember them in 6 months. How do you think Mel Kiper Jr. has kept his job at ESPN for 30 years? So here goes nothing: -Two years after not picking off a single pass, Green Bay’s safeties will lead the NFC in interceptions. Ha

Now that training camp and the preseason is mercifully over, let’s take a look back at some of the highs and some of the lows from the past six weeks: Biggest surprises (players): Former UCLA star Brett Hundley was the most impressive rookie quarterback I’ve seen in over three decades of following the Packers… Third-round pick

Last week’s struggles inside the 20 against New England shouldn’t be cause for alarm, but it certainly brought back some unpleasant memories. The Packers scored touchdowns on only 12 of 26 red-zone opportunities in the final seven games of last season. Any offense with Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams
